C: PROFANITY

C1: It is bad form to use profanity to express your self forcefully when posting on the publicly viewed forum. Members who use profanity to attack other members or habitually use profanity as a matter of course will be censored by having the offending post edited or removed and they may be issued a warning privately via their private message box. A few colorful expletitives within the confines of otherwise carefully crafted discussions will be overlooked, but overall, keep profanity to a minimum. Refer to MEDIA PRESENCE above, and remember that many of our constituents are young and impressionable.

D: OFF-TOPIC POSTS, AND THREAD PLACEMENT

D1: Stay on topic. Posts that veer off the stated topic will be redirected, edited, or deleted. Thread hijacking is rude. If you wish to change the topic of a thread then start a new one. Please start new threads in proper sections of the forum

E: DISSENTERS OF SAVE OUR STATE

If you belong to a racially based or racially exclusive organization, you are prohibited from recruiting, advertising, encouraging, or practicing that agenda within our organization. This includes public events organized or managed by us. Save Our State is concerned with citizenship, sovereignty, and citizen control of government, and we believe that racial segregation and separatism are hinderances to the furtherance of those goals.
